Since fatshark seems to still be struggling with this topic after almost a year of listening to player feedback and intense internal discussion, I figured that the appropriate course of action is to describe the solution in as simple of terms as possible. Get rid of the locks. Entirely. Throw in …

The best compromise option, which could be implemented alongside the upcoming changes is this: Add a crafting option to break a lock, which costs 1,000 Diamantine. When you then rebless/refine again, the lock comes back. @FatsharkCatfish pretty please? Why is this the best option? (A) It lets pl…

[image] anon61080228: both categories get frustrated when a good stat weapon being bricked with useless stuff, it works like ruined orgasm. Bro has really strong feelings about his Darktide!

[image] derpherp: since it would trivialise the loot system. It’s always funny to me when someone (including FS) says that removing the locks would make item acquisition too easy. Have you all forgotten why the tide games are as beloved as they are? It’s because the gameplay is outstanding, …

[image] BFCInsomnia: Have you all forgotten why the tide games are as beloved as they are? It’s because the gameplay is outstanding, not because the loot/item systems. What is the problem with it being easy to get the gear you want? On paper a good progression system can enhance the gameplay…

I’m for any idea that doesn’t involve the use of pickup resources. The plasteel and diamantine being tied to pickups found randomly through the map is another design decision that really messes with the flow of the game. Most of the time it’s a horde event broken up into people running around tryin…

Thanks! I appreciate hearing when things get passed along. Hopefully the above idea or something similar that allows us to temporarily remove/adjust locks can be implemented near future. Much appreciated. EDIT: I’ll also add that since the patch game out, we now have to deal with the frustration…

[image] Rainman: I’m for any idea that doesn’t involve the use of pickup resources. In theory, I’m not a fan of scouring the map for resources either. It feels weird thematically, breaks the flow of combat, etc. But realistically I don’t think that’s going to go away unless it were to happe…

Also not the biggest fan of having to check every corner in every room to find my resources. What speaks against just being awarded them for completing the mission? It just feels like an arbitrary timewaster…
